As a child, the flamboyant, brooding, and beautiful Rozzie was always
the star of her family -- especially in her younger sister Jemma's
eyes. So when Rozzie takes up acting and, as a teenager, wins a part
in a major motion picture, life changes irrevocably for both sisters.
Rozzie is catapulted into the chaotic adult world of celebrity while
Jemma travels to movie sets and relishes her sister's fame -- never
seeing the strain that the spotlight puts on Rozzie. Soon Jemma develops
her own artistic ambitions as a photographer, and Rozzie is forced to
reveal the secret she has kept from her family for years -- a rare eye
condition that threatens her vision. Only then does Jemma begin to see
the truth about her sister and herself -- a reality that threatens the
delicate balance of their relationship.
A moving and profound story about family, celebrity, envy, and
ultimately love, The Art of Seeing is a brilliant exploration of the
powerful and enduring connection between sisters.
